For nearly 150 years, newspapers around the world were printed on massive batteries of rotary presses. The advent of digital technology meant that they were all eventually scrapped, except for this one – the last surviving hot-metal printing press. This portion of the Wood Press (named after its American inventor Henry Wood, who built it in New York in 1934) was in operation at Northcliffe House, which was home to the Daily Mail and Evening Standard from 1827 until 1987. The press is the heaviest object in Wroughton’s archive: nine metres tall by 9.5 metres wide, it weighs 140 tonnes.
